A Honda dealer will be able to tell you what size and sell you the right one as well. Where have u been changing the oil in the past?? It's not very responsible of them to leave you driving off with a stripped out oil drain bolt. Good luck w that.

I've changed it three times at this shop and I decided to do it myself this tome because I was bored but then I saw that the bolt is basically worn out so I couldn't get it off, but thanks I'll go to the nearest dealer and see what they can do for me, and see if they can take it off for me too lol don't know how I would get it off by myself.

vise grips!!

and hope they didnt strip the threads in the pan from overtightening

pretty strange a shop didnt try to sell you a new plug
Thats just lazy or lousy technicians-- you need to let the shop manager know about it
Ultimately they are responsible,, but I wouldnt let them touch the car again!

any parts store sells the 14mm honda drain plug and washer

Easy out works great as long as you've got the room to drill a proper hole.

Vis grips sound like they should work I'll give it a try when I get another chance to go at it, but yeah Idk why they wouldn't offer me to replace it. If they stripped the threading in the pan I'd need to replace it ???

its possible to enlarge the hole in pan and install new thread assembly
but funky

better to replace oil pan,,,not a quick job

you will know right away on attempted removal,,if its been forced in crossthread and stripped- into postion-

A place did that to mine years ago, they paid the dealer to re-tap the pan.
